Really liked his game, handballed a few to many times when he should have kicked the ball himself, but I think that’s from a bit of lack of belief in himself.

LOL at BT saying the umpire must have been unsighted. Every campaigner in the stands could see a push in the back, but somehow one of the four peanuts on the ground couldn’t spot it?

People are surprise the Punt Rd Oval redevelopment could cost $100 mill? Swans facility cost $70 mill in the end, they didn’t have to demo a grand stand, build a new grandstand fix up a football oval and don’t have 3 levels of underground parking.

In 2019, when we were the best, the cats belted us by 70 when we were missing 7-8 players of our best 22.

Steve Morris has been a fantastic VFL coach, we had games last season with 3-4 AFL listed players and were still competitive. I would not be letting him go.

Well that was over a decade ago and we have ample sample size to show he’s an average midfielder, but one of the best backmen in the comp.

Yea, having first round picks doesn’t guarantee you get great players. Imagine trading Bolton for what could be RCD and Corey Ellis.

A overall positive this season has been the development of our forward I reckon. Last year we looked like we had no one in the front half capable of doing anything, now guys like Mansell, MJ and Campbell all look like promising half forwards and Lefau looks like he could be a handy player as well.

You gotta give them credit though, they do a lot right in so many areas to stay competitive. They’ll always have a leg up with the ground and the hill billy factor for attracting players that want to live out that way.

Lefau looking like he could be a decent 2nd/3rd tall in the future

Don’t think we’ve had one since the first quarter

Other than Vlastuin, the backline has been terrible.

So with Hugo playing, I think that makes it 36 players used this season. It’s only our sixth game…

100% not sure why people are melting. Kids with little experience are gonna make errors, get games into them and these errors go away (for the most part). Perfect example is Gryan Miers, was a bit of a spud early on, but with enough games, development and confidence he’s become a high quality...

Shorts kicking has been atrocious

Played over 10 games, not eligible.

Yea I have no idea, never seen it happen like that before, but wouldn’t be surprised that the umps had no idea what they were to do and just winged it. Plenty of times this year I’ve seen umpires not know the rules.

Which teams have traded away experienced stars post contending and actually become good again? Saints, Norf and Hawks have all done it and been s**t since.

since when does a descent free kick get paid where the player is mouthing off? Surely it should have been a free from the centre circle? AFL will just tick it off of course

AA squad once? Surely that’s not true? Farcical if it is

Last time we got someone off the AFL appealed and increased the suspension 🤣

What a team goal! That’s was beautiful play

Tom Mitchell is the worst, handballs and dives head first into oppo players and somehow always gets a free kick.

Won’t be the case in our game

How have these campaigners got 25 frees at the GABBA? That’ll take us 3 games to get

I’m convinced those things are disposal heat maps and not gps running heat maps. If they were legit heat maps every player would have a heat spot right before the bench.

I thought that if the non controlling ump pays a free kick, teams aren’t allowed to take advantage? Guess that rule has been scrapped or it wasn’t applicable for yesterdays game?

Oh really? They were? And then they played their best football when put into a position on the ground where they were best able to utilised their strengths. Brown doesn’t, and probably never will have the tank to play on a wing at AFL level, his best position will be in the back half of the...
